Design an awesome piece of jewelry in HeroMachine!

You only get one entry — that’s right, just one! So make it your best. Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular contest, but instead of a whole week I’ll announce the winner either tonight or tomorrow morning. No elaborate backgrounds or characters, all I want is the piece of jewelry. If you need to include a body part to illustrate its position, that’s ok, but the star of the illustration must be the item itself, not whatever it’s on.

All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the HeroMachine Forums, whatever);

Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;

Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.

The winner will receive their choice of either one item or one portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 release, or one Sketch of the Day style drawing where you pick the subject and I draw it how I like.

Thought to be magic, the Tiara of Morning Dawn seems to glow with an inner brightness when worn during the Spring Welcoming Ceremony by the Morning Princess. Don’t believe it though. It’s a well crafted piece of gold and crystal, but there isn’t an ounce of magic in its construction.

The Ring of Ghuul. A ring of terrible power which contains the life essence of an ancient lich lord. Now with the mysterious disappearance of its owner, the ring travels the realms from wearer to wearer. At first perceived as a small metal skull, when it finds a worthy owner the skull becomes animated and latches its teeth onto its new master, becoming irremovable.
